What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Hello, I would like to introduce myself first. My name is Ciftci. I am a software developer who has been coding since 2002 on different platforms. I like playing games, especially survival games. Since a couple of years I have been interested in developing games.
Zero World is also based on known multiplayer survival games. I myself am definitely not a 3D artist or modeler, for that I have bought available assets on the market for a decent graphics. Zero World is a single developer project. EarIy Access is a way to get feedback from the community, to bring various content to the game. There are a few ways this game can grow to, for this I need feedback from the the players.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I can only give an estimate, because there will be lots of idea's to implement in this game. My estimate is 4 years.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“I am planning for more maps, more player characters and the most important, different weapons, animals, built parts, resources etc. I am also planning to perfect the weapon handling.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current state of this game is playable in an big open world map in multiplayer. You can gather resources, craft equipment, build bases. There are several loot area's where you can find items. Just try to gather the resources for a C4 explosive to raid other bases. Or try to build your home as safe as possible.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“My intention is to keep the price the same as Zero World leaves Early Access.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“One of the reasons why the game is launched on Steam in Early Access is user feedback. I am looking forward to hearing from you.””

About This Game

Try to survive on an island full with different resources, animals and other players. The focus of this game is to build your base and try not to get raided by other players. You will spawn on an big island. The island has different biomes where you will find different resources.

Try to gather as many resources as possible and start crafting equipment to defend your self. Gather food from the ground or start hunting animals but becareful some animals are really strong. The island has many loot places, some bigger then others. Those loot places have special containers which will give you random items. If you are lucky you will get resources for crafting C4. Keep in mind that in order to craft a C4 explosive you will need a specific item which can only be found in loot containers. This will make raiding harder and will give new players more time to get raided.

The island is very big, try to find a safe spot where you can build your base. Have some thought about security while building your base. You can use different kind of materials for your base. Wooden materials are the easiest to craft but they are also the weakest. Stone and metals are stronger but require a more resources.

Keep in mind that you claim the area you're building your base with a plotpole / totem. it is important that your plotpole is hidden and well secured. Whoever reaches your plotpole has the option to add himself as owner, then it would be easy for the raider to dismantle your base.
Keep your important stuff in a strong locker/vault. Use a codelock to lock it up. There are different kinds of lockers with different kinds of strengths. Some require a couple of C4's to blow it open.
